Default It's time for an OVERHAUL!!!!

Not quite, but will feel like it. Getting 22" adj rear ARB and alloy drops, ALK, prodrive springs, (plus 4 wheel geo), goodridge brake lines and Motul 5.1 fluid all plumbed in next week. Oh and service with Silkolene fully synth thanks to OilMan.

I am guessing this is gonna be like having a totally different car. Anyone done a similar package upgrade all at once on a similar car to mine? Wondering what to expect.

Downside is the front boots could do with replacing as they are under 3mm (but still leagal) so I guess I'm going to lose a lot of the new found extra grip. Depends if next month's brass will stretch to them or not

My model doesn't need droplinks. I did the rear ARB, ALK & geom at the same time down at powerstation. It really did make a difference.

I'm putting a sign on my head for saying this, but the car felt quicker. I think it's purely because of the lack of pitch and dive.

Corner don't exist though.

I've done the rest of the other mods you've done, but uprated the pads. That did improve the brake feel no end.

When you say uprated that pads...to what? Aren't the DS2500 I have pretty good?

Yeah they are, didn't know you had them as they were not in your mod list.

A well worth mod route with those you've chosen, enjoy!

Sorry - thought you had 'viewed my Scooby' when you said the other mods I had. Pads and discs done last year although braking doesn't feel as good as the standard ones Hoping lines and 5.1 help.
